butterfly | Vid: Someone Else's Prayer (Queer as Folk UK; Stuart/Vince; Series 1)

For me, the fascinating thing about vidding is that it's meta, basically (except for constructed realities, of course). You use what the show gives you and you construct an argument.

Ex. #1: Angel=GAY!!!
You say, watching Angel, "Dude, Angel's kinda gay." And if you are

sisabet and

sockkpuppett, you then come up with Whatever, which takes that argument and backs it up with visual evidence from the show. And then people are very amused.

Ex. #2: Jack - Daniel = sadness
You say, watching Stargate SG-1, "Dude, Daniel's death didn't really help Jack's state of mind." And if you are

barkley, you then create Pretty Angry, where we can see for ourselves that Jack is indeed not so cheery and that Daniel's lack of a sense of self-preservation may have contributed just a bit.

Ex. #3: Stuart + (Vince + Cameron) = Stuart - Vince
You say, watching Queer as Folk, "Dude, Stuart is so very in love with Vince." And if you are me, you then make Someone Else's Prayer.

Someone Else's Prayer
Summary:
Vince isn't the only person here who wants what he can't have.

What I'd give right now not to even care
And then this could be someone else's prayer

In other news, the Narnia trailer takes my breath away. Just... the pretty. That is one seriously shiny trailer. It's a good year to be of the fannish inclination -- there's a Big Damn Movie in September, and now this in December, and I'm looking forward to Harry Potter and the Missing Comma as well. Plus, I'm very much anticipating the third part of The Siege (Stargate Atlantis) and the ninth season of SG-1, both in July.

Wow, that was a wonderful and angsty vid - I'm always in awe of vidders, it seems like magic to me, this vidding business lol Congrats *g*

Oh, god, how much of a sucker am I for that vid? Just stamp "squee!!" on my forehead. All those long, lingering shots of the pretty, and the love, and the pain, and the perfectness that is them. Thank you so much for that. I really needed it.

I don't know much about Queer as Folk, but that's a pretty video, and I applaud your choice of music. *uses appropriate icon*

Thank you so much for making and posting this video! It's great. I was excited when I saw you had made a video for UK QAF as that's one of my favorite fandoms and there is not a whole lot of vedeos out there on it. Once I had actually downloaded and watched it, I was thrilled. It's a beautiful video.

Oh, thank you. That's an absolutely lovely thing to say.

Oh, yay! I'm so beyond thrilled that you like it. I never would have thought of vidding QaF if not for your vid. Your vid is what inspired me to get the dvds.

And this vid just... completely sums up why I love Stuart and Stuart/Vince.

Thank you!

And I remember seeing that icon (and your post on it, though I didn't have time to comment) and thinking that it was neat. It's a great song.

Thank you! It was such a joy to make. I think that I'm addicted to this vidding thing now.

It's a good year to be of the fannish inclination

I think it's a good period in general to be of fannish inclination, as I said to someone, oh, back around the time Buffy's musical episode aired.

It helps that I'm big on the Star Wars too, I suppose. Star Wars and Harry Potter in particular (books and movies) are record setters, benchmarks, and it's fabulous to live during the time where we still have more to anticipate from them.

But yeah, in addition, I'm stoked about everything else you mentioned. And I'm not a Dr. Who fan, but I'll bet they're all excited and happy too. In general, I think it's a great time, unless you're a Trek fan, heh.

I haven't seen the Narnia trailer yet- I tried to get it from some movie tickets site? But it didn't download. What link are you using?

Moviefone, I think is where I found it. It's really pretty. There's roaring.

I watched this last night and only remembered now to come back and comment -- really wonderful. I just adore UK QaF and Vince and Stuart are just... and the SONG! I love it. I love Mary Chapin Carpenter's "The Dreaming Road" and this song is fabulous. Now I want to make a QaF vid! Yay! *Smooch*

Wow!

Here via the Stuart/Vince yahoogroup - that's just awesome, thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you!

Vince and Stuart really are just wonderful. And when I heard the song, I had to make the vid -- it fit that part of the story so well.

And more QaF UK viddage would be a good. The only other vid that I know of is Little Brother (which I adore so much) and it is much too good a show to have so few vids.

Thank you!

Oh, wow, thank you.

My vid was mentioned onlist? Very cool (I'm actually on the yahoogroup, is the funny thing, but I haven't had a chance to check my email in a couple of days).

And that is such a sweet icon.

Yes, someone pimped it there. And thanks, I just love that scene at the wedding... *pets the pretty gay boys*

Ah! Beautiful and haunting. A really excellent vid. Saw someone posted the link on the QAFUK LJ and S/V, and just wanted to let you know your efforts were appreciated, greatly.

I would be the pimp from the S/V list...lol.

Truly, I adored the video and wanted to share the wealth!!!

You did a marvelous job, and I can only hope (HINTING BIG TIME) that you might grace us with another one soon.

Hugs

xof

They are so pretty there, just dancing.

And I always want to smack Vince for talking himself out of sex with Stuart in the hotel room.

Thank you!

It was so much fun to make. Stuart is so gorgeous and it's too easy to miss his feelings for Vince in the beginning, because Vince's feelings are made so obvious.

Well, thank you very kindly.

Stuart and Vince are a big happy place for me. So, I suspect that I will eventually feel the need to vid their happy ending.

i can't believe i missed this :( any chance for a repost? (and also, just read your post about ep1 of QAFUK - the deepr meaning of vince "being" kate winslet! i hadn't even thought of that... wow.)

Thank you very much.

I just re-sent it, so this link (http://s33.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2LAJTWW9VWEIW02Y1T0RZIZ8MV) should work. Let me know what you think!

where do i even start? i guess by saying thanks for putting it up again for me, i know it must've taken a while to UL. and i'll try feedbacking, even though i sort of not v. good at it :)
the first time i saw it, my eyes literally got a bit wet. my god, the *love*... makes your heart constrict, doesn't it? and it's just so *sad*.
i liked the rooftop "kate winslet" scene as a running 'thread', at least in the beginning/middle of the vid. i liked how you worked in all the times stuart wedged himself between vince and cameron. but the thing i liked most is that the vid a side of stuart not shown so much in the show. or rather, it's there, but it's eclipsed by all the "king of canal street" / magnificent bastard scenes. this lovely yearning, loving, sad, vulnerable side. in the show, vince's longing for stuart is obvious, it's all over the place. with stuart, things are more subtle, but it's *there* and you've show-cased it beautifully.
the only thing i didn't like so much was the style of the credits (the moving-stopping-moving blurring/de-blurring thing), especially in the end, i think it detracts a bit from the strength of the final image in the vid. (btw the fade to blue was yours, right, not originally in the show?)
i've also DLed your new wes vid but i don't dare watch it. i'm pretty sure it will break my heart :(
